It's neat but chronological seems like a psychotic way for someone new to Star Trek to get into it lol
ENT then STD, yikes.
Oh no, it's fair.
A highly customizable table is the core of how you pilot your ship. It's an overview that gives you a list of everything you've set it up to show in space around you, as well as a bunch of columns with information on said objects. Some of it is obvious and straight forward, like distance, but goes down into the minutia like transversal velocity. You can set up a bunch of presets for checking on different things.
Logistics and economy are huge parts of the game that you could mostly ignore (though at some point you're going to open the market which is exactly as detailed and dorky as you imagine) which will prompt you to make your own actual spreadsheets at some point. Though funnily, in the 10ish years I played I never made a spreadsheet despite being notorious for doing it in other games.
There is just a ton of math and potentially useful data accessible to the player that you might want to use at some point.
My potentially hot take is the spreadsheet UI is the best, all MMOs should do it, and the worst parts of Eve's UI are the parts that aren't spreadsheets.
That's a shame, the site was convenient for extremely niche stuff that isn't being seeded anymore.
Weird how the times have changed with VOY. It was never hated, but I never saw love for it until long after new-Trek. The argument used to be whether VOY or ENT was the worst lol
Yeah that's how I remember it, but it seems popular opinion is the temporal cold war stuff was good now?
SNW is worth trying. It's got a couple of really solid episodes and a few of the characters are great, I'm a particular fan of Mbenga. It still hasn't grown the beard in my opinion, but it's much better than PIC or STD and seems like it could grow one.
The best of new-Trek is actually Star Trek: Resurgence though. It’s a Telltale style game set in the TNG era and gets it. The first act is spot on quality Trek, and the rest is still decent multi-episode finale stuff.
He's watched at least 50 hours of new-Trek, I think that's far more than what's reasonable to judge it. Chill out.
ENT & VOY above TNG & DS9 would have been a wild top three before 2009. Weird hit of nostalgia thinking about how much of an argument that would have stirred lol
By far the worst season of Trek ever created.
I really need to rewatch Enterprise at some point. I keep seeing people say the later stuff is good, but my recollection is it was annoying time travel stuff and actually worse than the earlier seasons. It's making me doubt myself, especially given how long ago it was.
From the way you've described your mental health problems, I've had similar friends who have found stable, loving relationships. So there's hope, though I know that can be the most infuriating thing to hear.
